This past weekend I was repairing some drywall in my closet. For some reason I bought a box of nails with the idea that I would secure the new drywall with the nails, even though I had a perfectly good box of drywall screws at home. Anyways, I start putting up the new drywall with the screws until something possessed me to use a nail instead. Then it hit me; nails suck. I don't know why it took me so long to realized that, it seemed so obvious once I thought about it, but I don't remember ever thinking about it before.

The only benefit I can see to using nails it that you can nail stuff during a blackout... after you cordless drill's battery has died.

Well, we did it. Lisa and I rode the whole route from San Francisco to LA.
It was really fun and, of course, challenging. Now the question is; Do I put my bike away for a month or so and relax? Or, take advantage of being in the best shape for cycling ever?
